    This game is a masterpiece in every sense of the word. It's that kind of game that makes you feel eager to arrive home from work as soon as possible and play as much as you can. The story is superb, keeps you interested from start to finish, and the gameplay is simply addicting. If you have a PS4, buy this game NOW!

    An absolute masterpiece. A fitting and emotional experience. It’s a part 2 of the whole story. And shows the consequences to people’s actions. Everyone is a bad guy.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolutely a masterpiece of gaming history, no doubt. I avoided all spoilers but had a good idea Joel was gonna die because of the uproar on the internet, though when I started playing as Abby I couldn't stand her at first, I was actually throwing myself off the top of buildings at first to get my revenge for Joel. First time I've purposely killed myself in a game! Ha. But I gotta hand it too naughty dog, by the end I actually liked her and felt for her, I thought the ending was sick and it was better revenge than killing her for Ellie as she killed everyone close to her and left her alive with the guilt that they all died because of her revenge on Joel.
    The game is **** awesome and to give it 0/10??? Wow u gotta be bad butt hurt over Joel for that ha    … Expand

    Sin duda uno de los juegos de la generación. Como era de esperarse a nivel sonido, ambientación y gameplay es uno de los mejores juegos de PS4. Mención aparte para el apartado gráfico / técnico donde ND hace magía y nos da las mejores visuales que un juego puede tener en 2020 y todo corriendo en una consola que tiene ya 7 años. Realmente increíble.
    La historia es super interesante,    Sin duda uno de los juegos de la generación. Como era de esperarse a nivel sonido, ambientación y gameplay es uno de los mejores juegos de PS4. Mención aparte para el apartado gráfico / técnico donde ND hace magía y nos da las mejores visuales que un juego puede tener en 2020 y todo corriendo en una consola que tiene ya 7 años. Realmente increíble.
    La historia es super interesante, intensa y contada de una manera bastante original. Claramente no será del agrado de todos, ya que se aleja muchísimo del fan service y de los lugares seguros (En mi caso agradezco que así sea)
    El único punto flojo del juego es que dentro de las 30 horas que dura, en algunos momentos (muy pocos igualmente) pierde ritmo cuando hace que el personaje vaya de un punto A a un punto B. Esto se podría haber resumido en una cinemática (como hacía TLOU1) Sin embargo, suma por el lado de sentir que la historia día a día está ocurriendo en tiempo real.
    Es un juego que recomiendo no perderse ya que cierra la generación actual con un nivel altísimo.
    Evitar dejarse llevar por la gran cantidad de reseñas falsas / spam que hay en esta pagina, alcanza con solamente leer un buen par de las que tienen como nota de 0 a 4 y ver que son de personas que jamás probaron el juego. Sino que siguen repitiendo cosas de los falsos leaks de meses atrás. (historias subidas a reddit y otros foros)    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’m here to contribute to the positive change in consensus that this game rightfully deserves.

    The Last Of Us Part II is an absolutely stellar game that has unfortunately been directly impacted upon release by the horrible people who leaked the spoilers months ago. People saw those, decided how they wanted to feel about it completely out of context, and suddenly it was cool to hate the game. Suddenly it was cool to label it as agenda pushing, political or whatever. It’s not. It just happens to be about real people who (shocker) arent always straight white dudes. The funniest thing is that people are still labeling Abby as trans . It wouldn’t matter if she was, but she isn’t. So by default, tons of people’s opinions aren’t valid.

    I thought this game was an improvement upon the original in each and every way. It even rectified my one and only complaint in the first game, which was the super clunky melee combat that resorted to mashing square and punching enemies in the face over and over with the same animation. Adding the dodge mechanic went a long way in the sequel.

    Seattle is the most well realized real world city that I’ve ever seen in a game. As someone who grew up in the area I had an absolute blast exploring every nook and cranny.

    The story is utterly compelling from start to finish. I was literally on the edge of my seat with completely undivided attention during every cutscene. I desperately wanted to keep coming back to the game because I just wanted to know what happened next. It’s an added bonus then, that the gameplay is so damn good.

    This is the smartest enemy AI I’ve ever encountered. It truly felt like I was hiding from real people at times. The moment I knew this was on another level was during the first encounter with Wolves. I ran into a classroom after being seen and ducked behind a desk, to which an enemy called out “she’s by the desk!”, to which I audibly said “what the ****

    I admired the choice of having Joel’s death be the catalyst for the story. I was disgusted and appalled by it, and immediately understood why they did it. I now shared the same anger as Ellie. Ellie, who had just seen her “father” get viscerally murdered. And me, who had just seen the protagonist I just spent 14 hours connecting with getting murdered. That was powerful. Now the player shares the motivation completely with Ellie and is like “yep, let’s go kick the **** out of this woman.” And what an utter, shocking surprise it was later when Naughty Dog managed to make me love Abby.

    There are two sides to every story. Everybody is the villain in somebody else’s story. It’s such a shame that people saw Abby do what she did and then never chose to forgive her, never gave her a chance or even tried to see from her perspective. That’s so strange to me that people were so stubborn that they went through her half of the game and had their opinion completely unchanged. That means that YOU can’t forgive people. That means you might have a problem with putting yourself in other people’s shoes. I hope you can play this game again and maybe think about what that says about yourself.

    I’m still mulling over my experience with this game because I just finished it a few days ago. But for me I’d add it to my short list of what I consider perfect games, the other two being Uncharted 4 and Bioshock. Uncharted 4 is probably still my favorite Naughty Dog game, but I’m biased to that series I think cause it just means a whole lot to me.

    I will add that yes, the game is ridiculously dark, but I actually walked away from it a lot more hopeful than I thought it would be. It actually ended on a somewhat positive note for both Abby and Ellie. Yes, Ellie lost her family, but she’s become a better person, she’s moving on from Joel and she’s off (I think) to go reconcile with Dina. I interpret this way: Ellie realized that if she was able to forgive Joel, then maybe Dina could forgive her. And I think she will, cause Dina rules.

    I went on for a long while and I hope I wasn’t too harsh on the people who didn’t like it. If you played it and didn’t like it that’s perfectly fine. The people who don’t play it and shout around saying the game sucks need to be silenced though. (Not killed. Don’t kill them. Just, be louder than them about the true nature of this game. Because it’s incredible.)

    Structurally (visuals and sound design) it’s perfect. In terms of gameplay and AI, it improved on what worked in the original, markedly.

The story is greater than anything else I’ve experienced in a game. Ever. Like every great game, or story in general, every aspect of it is in service to its overarching themes and character development.

    I just barely beat the game all the way through and the ending left me feeling hollow. I don't know if this deserves a full 10... I'd honestly give it a 9 - 9.5. However, I can see how this game isn't for everybody. It isn't a game that is about happy feelings. It is raw and real in a lot of ways. I personally hate what they did to some characters, but that is what made it so good. I feltI just barely beat the game all the way through and the ending left me feeling hollow.

    Grande game, talvez o melhor que já pude jogar. Mostra como as coisas tem seus tons cinza, o que boa parte do pessoal que deu nota baixa não entendeu. Melhor visual em um jogo que pude jogar, melhor roteiro e gameplay. Um dos poucos jogos que daria uma nota maior se pudesse ser feito.

    The Last of Us crowned the PS3 era and defined the generation. I have no doubt that the Last of Us 2 has just done the same for the PS4. Brutal, beautiful, horrifying and moving, a classic.

    Music is great
    Gameplay is like uncharted 4
    The story is good ,not what I expected but it is not something that I hate or dislike I can live with it, they made the story close to real life and what would happen in a real world and it will give you the feel of sadness and hate both wich is opposite of the first game,in general it is a very good game.

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II. But if you try and manage to accept the subliminal and not so subtle messages as a fact that the world has gone awry and that people have the need to have somewhere or someone to belong to as their own way out, then... You will witness the boundaries of gaming expand. You will witness a true masterpiece.

    If you loved the original for its great characters and well-paced story – stay away from this game. However, if you’re aching to sink into the depths of depression, or just want to cut some throats and burn some zombies – Part II will deliver. [Issue#247, p.72]
